[applause] before i bring her up, i have to ask one more question. almost all of you are residents of the state of california. where is the tobacco money from the state of california? it was much larger amounts of money because it was a whole state. do any of you know? it is just part of the hole in the state's budget. it went into the general fund. what do we have because of luis?

mayor brown gave me no plan b, so i kept voting that way. mayor brown doesn't tell you plan b, you have to stick with plan a, which is what i was smart enough to do. but one challenge that exists for our city to think about as we celebrate accomplishments is that san francisco cannot be a great city without strong black leadership, and it has dwindled in the past years. as wonderful as it is that our city elected ms. harris to be d.a., she is taking care of business, but here at city hall, there are issues and decisions, and the need for representations at different levels is not where we need it to be in order to bring back what we have had in sna francisco. if we want a robust african- american presence in san francisco, we have to start at leadership levels. but sophie has been getting power plants closed, adver -- advocating for transportation plans for bayview, and moving forward to make sure we have a redevelopment plan in bayview- hunter's point. she has been a regal presence for her people,a nd it is a difficult job. with leadership

jerry brown made sure that we do. and we in oakland wanted to see a little bit more of that strong mayor, especially because the budget, 75% of our general fund in oakland is fire and police. there are some structural problems with the way the money's being used. there's an overly generous contract with the police officers association that they've been wrangling over. they became a privileged class of city workers. and as soon as the city instituted this kind of zero contribution to pension, that's when the financial problems started. i would say that, you know, it's the mayor for showing leadership to deal with these structural problems but the city council who just voted to put additional taxes in front of homeowners in november who also need to bear a lot of the responsibility, particularly because some of those same city council members who signed the original oakland police officers' contract are still in office. >> so with dellums now definitively out, what do you see the dynamic of the race shaping up to be to
